A violent death and a vault of stolen treasures has Eve Dallas struggling to solve crimes old and new…
A blow to the head with a block of amethyst has left multibillionaire Nathan Barrister dead—while nearby, a vault, its door ajar, sits filled with priceless paintings, jewelry, and other treasures. Lieutenant Eve Dallas’s husband, Roarke—who misspent his youth in Ireland as a scrappy thief—recognizes at least two stolen pieces among the hoard. The crime scene suggests a burglar caught in the act. But only one item seems to be missing.
Then it’s revealed that the vault had actually belonged to the victim’s late father—and no one in the household knew it was there until a recent remodeling project exposed it. To protect the family name and business, they explain to Eve, they’d been looking for a way to return the ill-gotten gains anonymously and avoid the police. But now the police are all over their elegant house, and have a bigger, bloodier mystery to solve.
By all accounts, Nathan Barrister was a good man, a generous employer, a devoted husband and father. As for his father—he clearly had secrets. Now it’s up to Eve and her team to find out if those secrets got Nathan killed—and if it was a crime of passion or revenge.
This is the 62nd instalment in Nora Roberts’ (writing as J.D. Robb) incredible In Death series. Each book is a separate story/case, but the background story of these characters flows from one instalment to another.

DARK ROMANCE
Rory
I’m beginning to unravel.
When I meet Shai Burrows, he intrigues me enough that he has me stalking him, following him, watching him.

We get off on danger and seek trouble we’re not supposed to find. He craves my body, and though I don’t understand it, I know I want him by my side.
He’s my obsession, and I can’t help but want more.
In fact, I want it all.

They’re faking it for the cameras. But what if the sparks are real?
Graydon St. John doesn’t do drama―or public appearances. The brooding defensive end for the San Francisco Foghorns prefers silence, solitude, and avoiding headlines. But when a league-wide PR scandal forces him into a media stunt at the city zoo, he’s suddenly face-to-face with squawking birds, nosy fans, and the zookeeper who seems to hate his guts on sight.
Maple Baker loves her flamingos. Loud, pink, messy? Sure. But they’re hers. And the last thing she needs is a grumpy football player stomping into her sanctuary with a bad attitude and a bigger ego. Unfortunately, they’ve been paired for the zoo’s new public outreach program, and the cameras are already rolling.
The banter is sharp. The tension is electric. And the more they pretend to play nice for the press, the more their fake flirtation starts to feel like something dangerously real.

A young woman who was taught from birth not to dare dream beyond her station, finds herself at rock bottom—divorced, jobless, and living back with her parents. But when her childhood crush turned Hollywood star moves back next door and her every fantasy begins to turn into reality, she must decide whether she is finally brave enough to claim the life and the love she always wanted, or shrink back into the role that others laid out before her. Blending romance with explorations of tradition, cultural identity, and familial expectations, Leylah Attar delivers yet another stunning story that had me crying, laughing, and swooning for a love that was written in the stars. A sublime read.
If you had told me a year ago that I’d be utterly losing my mind over horde kings, dragon riders, or horned blood-drinking aliens, I would have suggested your crystal ball needed polishing. But then I read my first Zoey Draven novel, and everything changed. We return to the world of the Hordes of the Elthika with the story of a gifted pyroki master apprentice, Amaia, who accepts to be sent to the far nation of Karak to work at a dragon hatchery, all the while spying for the throne of Dothik. But her new home is nothing like she expected it to be, its people welcoming and kind, and its king, Alaryk, proves to be the most formidable male she’s ever met. Torn between her loyalty to her family and her growing attachment to Alaryk and his people, Amaia must decide whether to follow her heart or obey the wishes of a capricious ruler and risk losing a love like no other. If you love steam, angst, grovelling, and your hero . . . ahem . . . pierced in more places than one, this book hits all the spots, and more.
Unlike any other book I’ve ever read, this tender love story caught me by surprise and held on tight. It follows Morgan and Sawyer, two complete strangers with very little in common except that they’re both being haunted by their exes. They meet at a support group for haunted humans and soon realise they can help each other. But while Morgan cannot wait to part ways with the misbehaving spectre of her one-night stand, Sawyer is still mourning and clinging to the ghost of his fiancée in the house they’d planned to redesign together. As they both begin to develop feelings for each other, the story morphs into a poignant alchemy of grief and love, an exploration of all the ways love can flourish after loss, even when the heart continues to ache for all it’s lost. A slow-burn romance that is equal parts witty, romantic, sexy, and hauntingly moving.
I’ve never come across a Sarah MacLean novel that I didn’t absolutely devour, but this book—this fascinating, almost theatrically dramatic gem of a story—stole my heart. A wealthy New England family is shaken by the sudden loss of its larger-than-life patriarch, but no one more so than its prodigal daughter—Alice Storm. After five years of being cast out from the family and forging her own path in life, Alice returns to her family’s private island to pay her final respects to her father. But shortly after arriving there, she realises that her eccentric, controlling father is not done manipulating Alice and her siblings even from beyond the grave, forcing them all to spend one week together on the island in order to receive the inheritance. By exploring the real, messy, and deeply broken dynamics of a family brought together by guilt and grief, but ultimately bound to one another by love, MacLean delivers a powerful story riddled with drama, secrets, and family mayhem, as well as a generous dash of heartwarming romance. A superb read.
